Happiness came so quickly that Mu Ya almost thought he was dreaming.
"Great, you can come home with me." Mu Ya turned around and said to Shen Yin, his face full of joy.
Shen Yin just lowered his head, showing no signs of happiness or sorrow.
Mu Ya blew on the back of Shen Yin's hand, turned to the adults and said, "She is injured, let's go to the hospital first."
"We were ready to go, but she refused to follow us." Vincent said, "I think you should come over soon and wait here. Let's go."
Mu Ya hugged Shen Yin and was the first to rush out of the box.
The group arrived at the hospital quickly. Shen Yin's wound was stitched with six or seven stitches. His left palm was wrapped into a white bun and he lay on the hospital bed to rest.
Mu Ya sat beside the hospital bed, holding her injured hand, and said distressedly: "Does it still hurt?"
Shen Yin smiled and shook her head. She looked at the high-end facilities around her and asked worriedly: "Will it be expensive?"
Mu Ya calculated the money he earned these days and said, "Don't worry about money, I have it."
Vincent left after handling the matter. As Mu Ya's father, Moore naturally stayed here, and Curtis didn't leave either.
"Are you still planning to let her work in the bar?" Curtis, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said.
Shen Yin shrank when she heard Curtis' voice, and the image of Curtis twisting someone's hand lingered in her mind.
Mu Ya hugged her into his arms, patted her back comfortingly, and said, "Of course I don't want her to work there, but I just can't persuade her."
Curtis looked at Shen Yin, who shrank her body further into Mu Ya's arms.
"Don't be afraid of me. My Mu Ya's adoptive mother's husband can also be regarded as his adoptive father."
Curtis' tone of voice when he spoke to Shen Yin was completely different from that of Mu Ya. He was even more doting on his own daughter: "But they always call me by my name. Don't call me by his name. Why don't you call me by my name?" Accept me as your godfather. I have learned about the situation in your family. You can cut off the relationship with your father. From now on, I will be your biological family. If he bullies you, I will help you stand up."
Mu Ya: “…”
So is this the virtue of a stepfather? It's okay if you don't love your stepson, but you treat your stepdaughter-in-law better than your stepson. This is really... willful.
Shen Yin glanced at Curtis suspiciously and did not agree.
But Mu Ya knew how much benefit Curtis' words had to Shen Yin, at least more than what his father had given him.
He had been conscious of leaving home since he was a child, and never thought of inheriting any of the family's property, so after marrying Shen Yin, he worked so hard to save money to support his family.
If Mu Ya were alone, he would not bother with any shortcuts. But it's different when he gets married. He doesn't want his partner to suffer.
So Mu Ya accepted Curtis's gesture of kindness on Shen Yin's behalf and said, "Then I'll thank you on Shen Yin's behalf."
Shen Yin was surprised, but she didn't refuse, which was quite a bit like a husband and a wife.
Curtis smiled and said: "As a father, I have to give you a gift. What do you want? Just ask. A store, or going to school again."
Shen Yin only thought for a few seconds before decisively saying: "I want a flower shop."
Mu Ya was surprised and slightly disappointed: "Don't you want to continue studying?"
Shen Yin shook her head. She was not only excluded in school and unhappy, but also seemed inferior to other girls. She was afraid that Mu Ya would be disappointed in her from such a comparison.
Studying is just for a career. Why should she go to school to make a living when she can have a store that makes a living.
